Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are widely used across many industries. These warehouses make full use of space to store goods. What is the basic structure of an AS/RS? Below, we will give a brief introduction.

Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) AS/RS has a wide range of applications and is used in many industries. This type of warehouse makes full use of space to store goods. What is the basic structure of an AS/RS? Let me give you a brief introduction.

1 • Pallets: Pallets are accessories used in almost any type of storage rack. The purpose of pallets is to store goods. Pallets are mainly placed between beams. After using pallets, the goods on the shelves are more stable, and they also play a role in weight-bearing and lifting.

2 • Rail-mounted stacker cranes: Stacker cranes are also a type of mechanical equipment in automated AS/RS. This equipment is not used in ordinary shelves and can be said to be a dedicated automated equipment for AS/RS. Rail-mounted stacker cranes are mainly used for automatic storage and retrieval of goods in automated warehouses. When installing stacker cranes, special ground rails should be installed. The stacker crane moves on this track and then puts the goods into the shelves.

3 • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): Also known as automated guided vehicles, they shuttle inside the shelves to store and retrieve goods. Automated AS/RS usually uses high-bay racking, and manual storage and retrieval is difficult. At this time, we can fully rely on these automated vehicles, which are small in size and convenient for picking goods.

4 • Software control system: The software system is the core of the entire intelligent AS/RS. It is because of the existence of the software control system that staff can control such a complex warehouse system through a computer. For some automated equipment, instructions also need to be issued through a computer.

The above is an introduction to Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) the basic components of AS/RS. Hope it helps.
